In the Thick of it.  Nothing like a Maze to get lost in.  Horse Paintings Small Collectibles

Have you ever been brave enough to enter a maze? Would love some comments on this one if you have.  I read about mazes in English Gardens, especially in mystery books.  Things are always hidden in the maze. To those confined in the tall bushes and shrubs, they only have the path they visually see. There is no way to look off into the distance to see the journey ahead. From the path they have traveled they have a memory of what was and where they were...but nothing to step forward to.

If you are lucky to be upstairs looking out the window upon the maze, you have a full view of the travelers and the choices they make attempting to find their way out of it. Isn't that how life is? We are constantly finding ourselves in situations that we literally walked right into on our own accord, yet we cannot see ahead to know what the future is or what steps to take.   God is upstairs. God can see it all. Use the gifts of your past journey and all the things you have learned to make decisions on what steps you will take forward. Know that He is there with you and He already knows what is ahead for you. After all, He knows your thoughts before you do. 

If you started your day with peace and joy... make this 'maze' something of a positive nature. Smell the roses on the way. Find the joy in the day right there with you. Stop worrying about it all. God has it all in hand.

This painting reminded me of spring and a maze.  The colors blended together in such a brilliant harmony that I could only smile as I painted. This painting did NOT start like this at all. If I showed you the beginning picture you would not believe me.  It was on a soft white background and it was two horses facing forward.  Things are never as we perceive them to be. Things rarely happen as we think they will. Be joyful in what you have.

Abundance, Laurie

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
